In May 2020 the executive council for the Probate and Trust Section of the State Bar of Arizona approved a proposed statute permitting the creation of Arizona qualified spendthrift trusts. This type of self-settled trust is more commonly known as a domestic asset protection trust. The proposed statute (A.R.S. 14-10821) would establish a framework for Arizona residents to protect personal assets from future claims in a manner consistent with and subject to Arizona fraudulent conveyances laws. If enacted, Arizona would become the 20th state to allow self-settled spendthrift trusts.
